Hi TUs,
In a few days I will be orphaning my package mediatomb, and will delete it too unless anyone is interested in maintaining it. It has been unmaintained upstream for over a year, and currently I don't have enough time to deal with the issues that keep cropping up because of this. At the moment it isn't even installed on my main computer. Thought I'd just let people know first, in case anyone else is interested in maintaining it, and to give my reasons for dropping it.
Thanks, Jonathan
why would you delete the package? I still use MT. orphan as you want, but it's not because upstream is inactive that you should remove the package IMHO.
I was under the impression that it didn't currently work, but on closer inspection it looks like one of the bugs was invalid. Maybe it should stay then, but unless someone is willing to maintain it I think we should encourage new users to look for an alternative (by removing it from the repos).
